For brokers & settlements · From POD
Freight detention from POD — hours, $, dispute draft
Upload a POD (and rate con if you have it). Get authorized wait hours, estimated dollars, and reply language your settlements desk can send — without opening a full invoice audit.
1 credit = 1 completed check. Failed extractions don’t use credits.
How it works
POD in. Authorized detention out.
AI reads timestamps. Rules compute free time and $. Your desk sends the reply.
- 01
Upload the POD (and rate con if you have it)
Timestamps drive the math. Free time and $/hr come from the rate con or your desk defaults.
- 02
Rules compute authorized hours and $
Deterministic free-time math — not a chat summary. You see what evidence supports.
- 03
Copy the dispute draft
Leave with hours, dollars, and reply language your settlements desk can send today.
Documents compared
What goes into the packet
Bring the documents the pay decision actually needs — nothing more.
- Proof of Delivery with arrival/departure timestamps (required)
- Rate Confirmation (optional — free time / detention rate)
- Org free-time defaults when the RC is missing
Why trust the decision
Explainable before cash moves
Trust comes from a trail — not from promising magic savings.
- Built for the live fight: one POD, one number, one draft.
- Math is deterministic — AI only reads the PDFs.
- 1 credit = 1 completed Detention Check.
- Escalate to full Freight Audit when the same desk asks about the rest of the invoice.
Why AI is more reliable here
Read with AI. Decide with rules.
Carrier PDFs are messy. Pay authorization should not be.
- AI extracts arrival, departure, free time, and rate fields from messy PODs and rate cons.
- Hours and dollars are rules — same inputs, same math.
- The draft cites evidence so humans stay in control of the send.
FAQ
Detention Check questions
Upload a POD (plus rate con or free-time defaults) and get authorized detention hours, estimated dollars, and a dispute draft in under 60 seconds — Detention Check on Jorora.
Detention and accessorial audit gates fees on a full invoice packet before AP pays. Detention Check answers one urgent question — how much detention is authorized with evidence — without the full pay decision.
Create an account, use a free credit, upload a POD, and run it. Technical extraction failures do not consume credits.
No for Detention Check. Invoice plus rate con remain the path for full Freight Audit.
